Mint of the United States,

January 1st, 1821.

Sir: I have now the honor of laying before you a report of the
operations of the mint, for the last year.

From the statement of the treasurer, herewith transmitted, it will
appear that, during this period, there have been struck at the mint

In gold coins, 263,806 pieces, amounting to S 1,319,030 00

In silver coins, 1,821,153 pieces, amounting to 501,680 70

And in copper coins, 4,407,550 pieces, amounting to 44,075 50

Making, in the whole, six millions four hundred and ninety-two
thousand five hundred and nine pieces; amounting to one million,
eight hundred and sixty-four thousand seven hundred and eighty-
six dollars and twenty cents.

The above coinage of gold and silver has, in fact, been the work
of no more than nine months: for, from the deficiency of deposites,
the actual coinage did not commence till the beginning of April; and
was, even afterwards, frequently interrupted, from the same cause.
The press employed in the copper coinage did not continue in opera-
tion more than six months; as the quantity of copper coins had ac-
cumulated far beyond the public demand.

From the above statement, with other well ascertained data, it
may, I presume, be confidently affirmed, that the mint, in its present
improved state, will be found fully adequate to all the purposes
for which it was originally established.

I have the honor to be.

With perfect respect,

Your most obedient servant,

R. PATTERSON,

James Monroe,

President of the United States ,
